A man suspected of killing a registered sex offender in the Berlin community has been charged with murder.

The Cullman County Sheriff's Office identified the victim as Raymond
Earl Brooks, 59. The suspect in the case, 41-year-old Jay Maynor of
Cullman, is charged with Brooks' murder.

Court documents indicate Maynor is a relative of the child Brooks
pleaded guilty to sexually abusing in 2002. Brooks was convicted in an
incident involving an 8-year-old girl.

Sheriff Mike Rainey said the first shooting happened at the Berlin
Plaza Quick Stop on Highway 278 shortly after 7 p.m. Witnesses told
deputies a man drove up on a motorcycle and fired shots at the store's
window, Rainey said.

Imagine - They want
you to think that we live amidst ever-increasing scarcity, peak energy,
global warming and a bunch of other fake crises. None of these crises
exist anywhere outside of the human brain that is hallucinating them. Texas Arcane at vault-co.blogspot.com

Bugout locations -
It’s all a crap shoot. One guy on foot who thought he’d go live off the
land in those mountains getting sick of being cold and wet could plant
himself at the treeline 300 metres from my shack and pick me off with a
308 when I stepped out in the morning.ready down under, comment at shtfplan.com

Unnatural enemy -
The government I live under has been my enemy all my active life. When
it has not been engaged in silencing me it has been engaged in robbing
me. So far as I can recall I have never had any contact with it that was
not an outrage on my dignity and an attack on my security.H.L. Mencken

Remus says - Pointedly humiliating the armed forces is now a career credit in DC

From the BBC in 1998
- The sun is currently at its most active for 300 years. That, say
scientists in Philadelphia, could be a more significant cause of global
warming than the emissions of greenhouse gases that are most often
blamed. The researchers point out that much of the half-a-degree rise in
global temperature over the last 120 years occurred before 1940 -
earlier than the biggest rise in greenhouse gas emissions. Using ancient
tree rings, they show that 17 out of 19 warm spells in the last 10,000
years coincided with peaks in solar activity.news.bbc.co.uk

Remus says -
Climatologists were either wrong in 1998 or wrong now, or wrong both
then and now. Whichever it is, they strongly resemble craven,
bottom-feeding, shape-shifting, alarmist opportunists with an ethics
deficiency approaching unity and a credibility reliant in its entirety
on the memory hole. And "but" nothing, no reasonable self-respecting
person wants to hear any more from them.

DC declares whites are "biographically inelegible" for FAAemployment

Thousands of potential FAA
air traffic control trainees, with College Initiative Training degrees
or previous military experience, have been told by the federal agency
they are no longer eligible for job interviews. Instead, the FAA
has decided to accept less qualified applicants, apparently to satisfy
concerns that the agency needs a more diverse workforce, say Ferrugia
and Shelley in this article, FAA changes hiring practices for air traffic controllers ignoring qualified students and vets, at 7 News Denver.

Remus says - They're not "less qualified" applicants, they're unqualified applicants. If there's no point in following the rules, there's no point in having
the rules. Ever-lower performance standards are next. They're always
next. We'll accept incompetent "quota hire" air traffic controllers as
well. Fifty years of Affirmative Action, each outrage more egregious
than the one before. It appears there's no bottom, no limit. Sigh.
Most probably this is beyond orderly retrieval. Perhaps long ago.
There's a catastrophe building, out of sight but we all know it's there.
Every day there are more who would rather mourn it than prevent it.
For those of us who try, every day gives us another reason to just walk
away.

VA hospitals

Former VA surgeon - What is hilarious is, that we all knew, always, and forever, that government-run medical care, as EPITOMIZED by the VA, was the worst in the US. "Never miss a meal for a vet" was the catchphrase. "In the good VA
hospitals, they let you die. In the bad ones, they kill you" was the
constant refrain. All you ignorant idiots out there, who believe that
"government can do it", in medical care are the cause of this. The blood
of the dead is on YOUR hands, for being stupid, lazy, foolish, and not getting RID of these government parasites at every opportunity.Cotf, comment at progressivestoday.com

VA nurse
-
Many union hires are to pad the diversity numbers and a work ethic
is non-existent in 75% of them. Those who were not diversity hires see
the others get away with doing next to nothing and often decide "why
bother?". There are some of us who are grateful to have a good job that
pays a good deal better than the private facilities and do our best, but
we are about 25% of the workforce and we end up doing 75% of the work.
Nurses scarcely want to do the dirty work and those whose job is to
clean the people and the facility often feel that genuine work is for
suckers. dwk67, comment at progressivestoday.com

Race and wealth -
Why would race have anything to do with it? Put your mind to what you
want to do and go for that. It’s kind of like religion to me, it’s a
good excuse for not getting there.Morgan Freeman, to Don Lemon at CNN via Kellan Howell at washingtontimes.com

It is often said that while Russia plays chess, the US plays checkers. In checkers, or English Draughts,
the players cannot move backwards. All pieces must move forwards
(diagonally – zigzagging) and cannot move backwards until they reach the
opponents end of the board. And so it is with the psychopaths running
NATO, the British and US governments and the people behind them all; the
bankers.

We have today what amounts to a declaration of war from Petro
Poroshenko in his Inauguration Speech. After leading Vladimir Putin to
believe he was interested in negotiating (i.e. moving backwards or, at
least, standing still), he turned around and announced it would be
'forward into the Valley of Death'. Business as usual, in other words,
for the psychopaths.

This is not unexpected because it is, indeed, business as usual. The
bankers have been pushing this 'forward only' strategy since forever.
There is one exception, some might say, to this but it is not really an
exception at all; Syria.

The Las Vegas Police have raided the apartment of a young married
couple that ambushed and murdered two Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
officers yesterday and a woman inside a nearby Walmart before committing
suicide.

As a part of a sex education class,
eighth graders at Woodland Park Middle School in San Marcos, California
were asked to stand under signs that said how far they would be willing
to go sexually.

The signs said “smiled at, hugged, kissed, above the waist, below the waist, and all the way,” as reported at the local ABC Affiliate.

The inconceivable “lesson” must have been completely humiliating for
the children. If it were not for vigilant parents contacting the local
news, this story would have likely never seen the light of day.
The parents said that “their daughter and her classmates were in
disbelief because they thought the teacher wanted to know how far
they’ve gone sexually.” The school defended the “assignment,” which was
taught by “a community clinic and has been used over the past several
years” by saying “the activity was to discuss what is appropriate for
dating at the middle school level.”
Is this what “clinics” should be teaching?

In his new book, “Dark Forces: The Truth About
What Happened in Ben­ghazi” (Broadside Books), writer Kenneth R.
Timmerman explains how the US government’s efforts to arm the Libyan
rebels backfired, flooding weapons into Syria, and as he ­reveals here,
Afghanistan:

The Obama administration isn’t only giving the Taliban back its commanders — it’s giving them weapons.
Miliary records and sources reveal that on July 25, 2012, Taliban
fighters in Kunar province successfully targeted a US Army CH-47
helicopter with a new generation Stinger missile.

They thought they had a surefire kill. But instead of bursting into
flames, the Chinook just disappeared into the darkness as the American
pilot recovered control of the aircraft and brought it to the ground in a
hard landing.

The assault team jumped out the open doors and ran clear in case it
exploded. Less than 30 seconds later, the Taliban gunner and his comrade
erupted into flames as an American gunship overhead locked onto their
position and opened fire.

Back in the Sixties, Marxists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven came
up with a great strategy for overloading and collapsing democratic
welfare states, paving the way for socialist tyranny.

Basically, the
idea was to hit the system with a tidal wave of demands it couldn’t
refuse, and couldn’t possibly fulfill. The Left would then insist that
the moral argument for the system remained intact, so the only way to
meet those impossible demands was to scrap every vestige of
Constitutional restraint and republican self-government, instituting a
totalitarian system that in theory would forcibly restructure
society to promote “fairness” and give all those government dependents
what they “deserve.” (In practice, of course, what you actually get
is an iron-fisted dictatorship that cooks up reports to make itself
look good, or simply tells the unhappy citizens to shut up and obey when
things deteriorate to the point that no volume of phony reports can
paper over the problems – say, when the glorious worker’s paradise of
Venezuela runs out of tap water.)

The head of internal affairs for U.S. Customs and Border Protection
was removed from his post Monday amid criticism that he failed to
investigate hundreds of allegations of abuse and use of force by armed
border agents, officials said.

James F. Tomscheck, who has held
the post since 2006, is a 30-year veteran of federal law-enforcement
agencies. He was given a temporary assignment in another job in Customs
and Border Protection, which is the parent agency of the Border Patrol.

There will be a complete examination of internal affairs.- Senior official with the Department of Homeland Security

FBI
Director James B. Comey will assign an FBI agent to replace
Tomscheck with orders to be more aggressive at investigating abuse
cases, officials said. It is highly unusual for a federal agency to
bring in an outsider to run internal affairs.

When Bowe Bergdahl was first released, the administration’s line
seemed to be that he had suffered enough as a Taliban prisoner, and thus
that the U.S. would not likely punish him as a deserter even if that’s
what he turned out to be. But as the deal came in for strong criticism
and evidence mounted as to Bergdahl’s betrayal, the line changed.

We were assured by the military that Bergdahl’s conduct would be
investigated and, if misconduct were found, he would be subject to the
military justice system. In the meantime, we should withhold judgment.

But Bill Otis predicts that, regardless of the facts (which so far
point unambiguously to the conclusion that Bergdahl deserted), Bergdahl
will never face a military trial because President Obama will pardon
him. Bill, who worked on presidential pardons in the last days of the
Bush 41 administration, has even drafted a statement to accompany the pardon (see below). It’s written in perfect Obamaese, which should worry those of us who are close to Bill.

Retired four-star Army General Jack Keane claimed that senior
military leaders are “outraged” over President Obama’s decision to
trumpet the trade of likely Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl for five
dangerous Taliban in a Rose Garden celebration last Saturday.

Keane spoke Sunday with Fox News’ Chris Wallace about the political
implications of the prisoner transfer, with the general becoming the
latest to contradict National Security Advisor Susan Rice’s assertion
that the returned Army Sgt. “served with honor and distinction.”

“The fact that a citizen volunteers — becomes a soldier, becomes a
paratrooper, goes to combat as a result of that, has an unblemished
record, is a very good soldier — and then deserts his post, that trumps
all previous behavior,” he explained. “So that is a distinction in
itself, and he has to be held accountable for that.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has a tongue-in-cheek suggestion for
President Obama: Negotiate another prisoner exchange, but this time
trade five senior Democrats for a U.S. Marine being held in Mexico.

Addressing the GOP convention in Fort Worth, Texas Friday, Paul said a
delegate he had been chatting to had said, “There is one guy who is
kind of deserving we ought to try to get home, and that’s the Marine
who accidentally carried his guns into Mexico.”

“Why don’t we set up a trade? But this time, instead of five Taliban,
how about five Democrats?” Paul said to laughter and applause. “I’m
thinking John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi – couldn’t we send
them to Mexico?”

Let’s say you’ve just gotten a call from a friend who wants to go
hunting with you. Tomorrow. He wants to go tomorrow, but he doesn’t
have a rifle. You know you’ll be able to put him on a deer, or a hog, or
whatever it is he wants to hunt, but you don’t have extra rifles lying
about, set up and ready to go. What would you suggest?

There’s a lot to presume about the hypothetical above. Let’s pretend
the friend knows his ass from his elbow and is aware of basic firearms
safety and function. There’s a big-box retailer right around the corner.
We can assume he or she can legally buy a gun, and can get a license
(and that you will be hunting, not poaching). This friend needs a gun,
one in a common caliber, and an optic (preferably one that’s already
attached and sighted in). What he need is a rifle that’s turnkey, ready
to go out of the box.

You need a Savage Axis II, the complete package.

South Africa's policy of
race-based affirmative action is "killing babies" and must be scrapped,
the country's Institute of Race Relations said Friday.

The institute,
which spoke out against racial discrimination under apartheid, said
black empowerment policies had seen unqualified people appointed to
positions where their incompetence hit poor and vulnerable communities.

Two Las Vegas police officers were killed Sunday in what appears to
be a politically motivated ambush in a pizza restaurant that spilled
over to a nearby Wal-Mart, where the two shooters committed suicide
after killing a woman in the store.

Details are sketchy, but
Metropolitan Police Department sources close to the investigation say
the shooters shouted that “this is the start of a revolution” before
opening fire on the officers, and draped their bodies with cloth showing
a Revolutionary War-era flag. Investigators have also found
paraphernalia associated with white supremacists.

Remembrance

Winners: Navy Cross Nguyen Van Kiet & MOH Thomas R. Norris This week’s Medal of Honor hero is one of a handful of Navy SEALs awarded the MOH in the Vietnam War. Norris snuck behind enemy lines with a South Vietnamese Navy petty officer rescued two downed pilots in 1972–when most of our resources had been pulled from the country. Interesting to note that later year, Norris was himself rescued by another SEAL Michael E. Thornton.More @ Medal of Honor Roll Call

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
